4. because you think Eric's reference to Caribou
was bad, and you think my post are absurd but
you think this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/5245956.stm

is good science and appropriate for an
archaeology group.
Hypocrit.

Actually it was Doug Weller who first mentioned that URL and it was
you who almost immediately trashed the ensuing thread.

It was absolutely relevant. As it wasn't a scientific report, but a
media report, I wouldn't try to judge whether it was good science or
not.

And it was a change from Inger's posts, it was real archaeology,
good or bad.

Garbage archaeology is not off-topic in the group
but one would hope that at some point the group
could stear itself away from controvertable
garbage archaeology. Alas don't complain when
Inger brings up same dealing with lunghuses
and wild kettles.

"Controvertable", I like that word, especially
in combination with wild kettles.
